-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Administrator Account

     YES    .  I toyed  with  them  because I did not  know  what I was 
playing  with    lol  . Send  a  boy out to  do  a mans job  and  I will 
stuff it  up  every  time .  I am  79 years  of  age  now , can't  remember 
much  any more .   At the  moment  I am  on  A Limited Account .  Forget 
what  I had  originally ,  but  need  to  get back  the  Administrator 
Account  to  be able to  use    System  Restore  and other things .  Am 
using    XP  .   IE.  OE  . Would appreciate any help.   Garbage day 
tomorrow ,  was  thinking  of  dumping it  ,  it  gets me so  mad . 
Lionel.
